Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the technical field of cooling and heat dissipation devices, and more particularly to a self-circulating spray cooling device. Background Technology
[0002] In recent years, high heat flux density dissipation technology has attracted widespread attention due to its applications in numerous engineering fields, including electronic systems, nuclear power generation, aerospace, and laser weapons. Traditional cooling technologies, such as forced air convection cooling and single-phase liquid heat transfer, no longer meet the heat dissipation requirements of devices. Among cooling technologies involving phase change, spray cooling utilizes pressure differences or liquid momentum to generate intense gas-liquid disturbances that break the coolant into tiny droplets. The significantly increased surface area of these droplets greatly improves cooling efficiency. Therefore, spray cooling can be an effective solution due to its high heat dissipation capacity, low coolant consumption, uniform temperature distribution, and, most importantly, precise temperature control, reliability, and economic efficiency.
[0003] Spray cooling, with its rapid thermal response and low flow consumption, is a common and effective thermal management method in high-power electronic systems. Typically, reducing the wettability of the target surface lowers the surface energy barrier for bubble nucleation, thereby promoting nucleated boiling and improving the heat transfer coefficient of spray cooling. However, bubble coalescence and vapor film formation have limitations in further increasing the critical heat flux. Therefore, maximizing the heat transfer coefficient and critical heat flux of spray cooling on the same heating surface can be mutually exclusive.
[0004] Traditional spray cooling systems typically require pumps to circulate fluid, which results in an excessive number of components in the system. Furthermore, the kinetic energy of the high-temperature steam generated during evaporation is not utilized, leading to significant energy loss. Summary of the Invention

Furthermore, the schematic diagrams are merely examples and should not limit the scope of protection of the present invention. In addition, actual fabrication should include three-dimensional spatial dimensions of length, width, and depth.
[0030] Example 1 Reference Figure 1-2 This invention discloses a self-circulating spray cooling device, including a housing assembly 100. In this embodiment, the housing assembly 100 includes a constant temperature water tank 101. The constant temperature water tank 101 has a hollow structure and maintains a constant internal temperature for storing water. A spray chamber 102 is provided at the lower end of the constant temperature water tank 101. The spray chamber 102 is made of transparent glass for visibility. The overall structure is completely sealed, and all connections are also sealed. A base 103 is provided at the lower end of the spray chamber 102. The base 103 also has a housing structure with an internal cavity.
[0031] Furthermore, the present invention also includes a heat exchange assembly 200. In this embodiment, the heat exchange assembly 200 includes a base 103 housing. A heat exchange surface 202 is provided inside the base 103 housing. The heat exchange surface 202 is generally in the shape of a flat circular plate and is located in the center of the base 103 housing in a horizontal direction. A heating copper column 203 is provided at the lower end of the heat exchange surface 202. An electric heating wire is provided on the outside of the heating copper column 203. The electric heating wire is connected to an external power source. The heating copper column 203 is heated by the electric heating wire, thereby heating the liquid film formed on the heat exchange surface 202 and evaporating the liquid film into a steam state. Furthermore, a liquid return component 204 is provided inside the base 103 housing. The liquid return component 204 collects excess liquid and returns the liquid to the constant temperature water tank 101.
[0032] Furthermore, the present invention also includes a liquid return component 500, which is disposed inside the housing component 100. The liquid return component uses the pressure change inside the spray chamber 102 to drive the excess liquid to return.
[0033] Operation process: The operator sprays the water in the constant temperature water tank 101 into the spray chamber 102. After the water flows downward into the heat exchange surface 202, some of the liquid forms a vapor state. The liquid is returned through the pressure change inside the spray chamber 102.
[0034] Example 2 Reference Figure 3-8 This is the second embodiment of the present invention. The difference between this embodiment and the previous embodiment is that in this embodiment, the liquid return component 204 includes a base 103 housing. The base 103 housing is generally box-shaped and hollow inside. A liquid return cavity 204a is formed on the bottom surface of the base 103 housing. The liquid return cavity 204a is located below the heat exchange surface 202 and is generally round. The liquid return cavity 204a is located at the lowest point of the base 103 housing. This arrangement allows the remaining liquid to flow into the liquid return cavity 204a for convenient liquid return. Furthermore, a flow channel 204b is formed inside the base 103 housing. The flow channel 204b is connected to the liquid return cavity 204a. The flow channel 204b is opened laterally to connect the liquid return cavity 204a with the outside. An outlet 204c is formed at the connection between the flow channel 204b and the base 103 housing.
[0035] Preferably, in this embodiment, there are two liquid outlets 204c, which are arranged adjacent to each other. Each liquid outlet 204c is provided with an outlet pipe made of copper. Several annular protrusions are provided on the outer circumferential surface of the outlet pipe to facilitate subsequent connection. At the same time, a connecting flange is provided near the base 103 housing of the liquid outlet 204c.
[0036] Furthermore, in this embodiment, a plurality of micro-pillar structures 300 are provided on the upper surface of the heat exchange surface 202. The micro-pillar structures 300 are arranged in an equidistant array on the heat exchange surface 202, and the shape of the micro-pillar structure 300 is rectangular block. When viewed from directly above, a cross-shaped retention gap 301 is formed between every four adjacent micro-pillar structures 300, and the retention gap 301 is used for liquid flow.
[0037] Furthermore, a copper micromesh 302 is disposed on the micropillar structure 300. The copper micromesh 302 has several layers, preferably four layers in this embodiment. A nano-grass structure is formed on the copper micromesh 302 by a simple chemical etching method. The steps of the chemical etching method are as follows: 1. Surface treatment: First, the surface of the copper micromesh needs to be pretreated by ultrasonic cleaning to remove any possible contaminants and oxides.
[0038] 2. Preparation of grass template: To prepare the grass template, copper oxide precursor materials (Cu(NO3)2·3H2O, CuCl2), appropriate amounts of solvent (deionized water), reducing agent (citric acid), and auxiliary agent (polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP)) are selected. Preparation Steps: Preparation of Copper Oxide Precursor Solution: Add an appropriate amount of copper oxide precursor material to the solvent and stir thoroughly until the precursor is completely dissolved. Addition of Auxiliary Agents: Add an appropriate amount of auxiliary agent, such as PVP or CTAB, to the solution as needed. These auxiliary agents can provide a template effect, facilitating the formation of nanograss-like structures. Reduction Reaction: Add a reducing agent to the solution and stir appropriately to trigger the reduction reaction. The choice of reducing agent depends on the specific experimental conditions, such as sucrose or citric acid. Nucleation and Growth: The reduction reaction leads to the nucleation and growth of copper oxide nanocrystals, forming nanograss-like structures. The reaction time can be controlled as needed. Separation and Cleaning: Separate the prepared copper oxide nanograss using methods such as centrifugation or filtration, and clean with an appropriate solvent to remove impurities and residual reagents. This results in the spontaneous formation of a regularly arranged array of nanoparticles on the surface of the copper micromesh, serving as a grass template.
[0039] 3. Chemical Etching: The grass template is immersed in a reaction system containing a suitable chemical solution for chemical etching. Commonly used etching solutions include ammonia and hydrogen peroxide. During the etching process, the nanoparticles on the grass template are gradually etched away, forming nano-grass.
[0040] 4. Residue Removal: After etching, the sample is cleaned using ultrasound to remove etching products and residues from the original grass template.
[0041] Furthermore, the interconnected channels of the copper micromesh 302 can transport the cooling medium to the heat exchange surface 202 through capillary action, wherein a uniform thin liquid film is formed between the micromesh and the micropillars. The micropores between the micropillars, the mesh, and the nanograss are used as nucleation points to improve the initiation point of nucleation boiling and promote liquid film boiling. Since the bubble nucleation size is in the micrometer range, the width, spacing, and height of the copper micromesh 302 and the micropillars are all in the micrometer range, and interconnected components are provided between each layer of copper micromesh 302.
[0042] The interconnecting gaps between the multiple layers of copper mesh provide numerous low-resistance channels for capillary flow of the liquid, and the microporous structure on the surface of the copper mesh further enhances the liquid supply capacity of the copper mesh capillary wick by improving surface wettability. The microporous structure covering the top layer of copper mesh on the capillary wick greatly expands the gas-liquid interface and increases the effective evaporative heat transfer area.
[0043] More importantly, the microporous structure covering the copper mesh provides a large number of effective nucleation sites to promote nucleated boiling heat transfer on the capillary wick. The nucleated bubbles not only further increase the gas-liquid interface area, which helps liquid evaporation, but also effectively disturb the liquid film to reduce the liquid film thermal resistance.
[0044] A layer of copper oxide nanostructures was formed on a copper mesh using a simple chemical etching method, further improving the surface capillary capacity and thus enhancing the liquid transport capacity of the copper mesh structure. Finally, the copper oxide nanostructures were removed using chemical cleaning, forming a large number of microporous structures on the copper mesh surface, which helps to simultaneously improve the surface liquid transport capacity and increase the number of effective nucleation sites on the surface.
[0045] As the number of copper mesh layers increases, the liquid transport capacity of the capillary wick structure increases, manifested as an increase in capillary velocity and liquid volumetric flow rate. For capillary wicks with the same number of copper mesh layers, both nanograss and micropores can enhance the surface liquid transport capacity, because the rough structure on the copper wires can induce capillary action along the copper mesh lines. Furthermore, compared to dense nanograss, microporous structures can improve liquid transport capacity by reducing liquid flow resistance.
[0046] Figure 7 This demonstrates the effect of the number of copper mesh layers on the evaporation / boiling heat transfer process. The testing method here is as follows: heat flux is calculated and statistically analyzed for copper micromesh with different numbers of layers. 1. Pretreatment: Before conducting the experiment, the copper mesh needs to be pretreated by cleaning and polishing to ensure that its surface is free of impurities or dirt and is smooth and flat.
[0047] 2. Install the heat flow meter or thermocouple: Mount the heat flow meter or thermocouple onto the copper mesh and connect it to an external measuring device using wires. Heat flow meters are typically glued directly to the surface of the copper mesh, while thermocouples require inserting a probe into the copper mesh to measure the internal temperature. In this solution, a heat flow meter is used.
[0048] 3. Heating the copper mesh: Divide the copper mesh into single-layer, double-layer, triple-layer, four-layer, and five-layer groups. Then, heat several groups of copper mesh to the required temperature and maintain it for a period of time to reach thermal equilibrium. In this scheme, the copper mesh needs to be heated to 200°C, 203°C, 206°C, 209°C, 212°C, 215°C, and 218°C.
[0049] After the copper mesh is heated to a steady state at each temperature, the operator places a sealed box over the copper mesh and weighs each group of copper meshes and the sealed box separately. Then, water is sprayed onto the surface of the copper mesh, with a fixed total amount of water sprayed onto each group of copper meshes. A second weighing is then performed.
[0050] 4. Record data: After the copper mesh reaches a steady state, you can start recording the temperature and heat flow data at each time point.
[0051] 5. Then, the operator begins to record the total weight at this time, which is recorded as three weighings. Then, the difference between the second and third weighings is calculated, the weight loss is calculated, and the weight loss values are compared.
[0052] Furthermore, such as Figure 7 As shown, for thin capillary wick structures (number of layers < 2), capillary evaporation occurs only on the surface until the heated area is burned dry. For thicker capillary wick structures (number of layers > 3), as the surface superheat increases, nucleate boiling can lead to a sudden decrease in superheat, thereby improving the evaporation / boiling heat transfer efficiency.
[0053] And from Figure 8 (a) It can be seen that when the number of layers is 2, the decrease in superheat caused by nucleus boiling only begins to change gradually in the later stage, while the overall change is less pronounced when the number of layers is 4. Figure 8 (b) As shown, the change in superheat caused by nucleus boiling begins in the early to middle stage, and the change becomes most obvious in the later stage, which leads to the minimum point of superheat reduction. Therefore, at this layer number, the evaporation / boiling heat transfer efficiency is the highest. Therefore, this layer number is selected in this embodiment.
[0054] The advantage of choosing four layers is that with four layers, pressure sensors can be used to test the internal pressure, and then obtain... Figure 9 , Figure 9In the middle, from bottom to top, the pressure inside the spray chamber is as follows: pressure inside the spray chamber when there are 2 copper mesh layers, pressure inside the spray chamber when there are 3 copper mesh layers, pressure inside the spray chamber when there are 4 copper mesh layers, and pressure inside the spray chamber when there are 5 copper mesh layers. Figure 9 It is evident that when the number of layers exceeds 3, the pressure inside the spray chamber gradually increases over time. In this design, however, the pressure inside the spray chamber is 50m³. 3 -60m 3 At that time, the maximum pressure that the whole can withstand is 220-250Mpa (the data is known from actual measurement and the characteristics of the low carbon steel material used in the spray chamber). So when the number of layers reaches 4, the rate of pressure increase is basically the same as the rate of liquid backflow, and when the liquid spray volume is fixed, the highest pressure will not exceed 220Mpa.
[0055] When the number of layers is 5, the evaporation / boiling heat transfer efficiency increases, which in turn causes the pressure to rise faster than the liquid reflux rate. Furthermore, under quantitative spraying conditions, the maximum pressure generated reaches 261 MPa. Obviously, the entire device cannot generate the pressure required for this device. Therefore, in this solution, 4 layers are preferred to avoid extreme pressure changes and excessive pressure that could damage the entire device.
[0056] Furthermore, a pipeline component 400 is provided inside the spray chamber 102. In this embodiment, the pipeline component 400 includes an inlet pipe 401 disposed inside the housing of the base 103. The inlet pipe 401 extends from the side wall of the constant temperature water tank 101 and is connected to the spray chamber 102. The inlet pipe 401 is made of soft material. A pump body 402 is disposed inside the inlet pipe 401. The pump body 402 controls the flow of liquid in the inlet pipe 401. At the same time, a spray pipe 403 is disposed at the end of the inlet pipe 401 that extends into the spray chamber 102. A lower adjusting rod 404 is disposed inside the housing of the base 103. The spray pipe 403 is connected to the lower end of the lower adjusting rod 404. A nozzle 405 is disposed at the lower end of the lower adjusting rod 404. The operator controls the opening and closing of the pump body 402 to deliver liquid to the nozzle 405 and spray the liquid into the spray chamber 102 through the nozzle 405.
[0057] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the liquid return assembly 500 includes a liquid return pipe 501 connected to the liquid outlet 204c, a liquid return pipe 502 connected to the liquid return pipe 501, a liquid return pipe 503 provided at the upper end of the liquid return pipe 502, the liquid return pipe 503 being connected to the constant temperature water tank 101, and a rubber part provided on the liquid return pipe 503.
[0058] In this embodiment, the rubber component includes a connecting sleeve disposed on the liquid outlet 503, and a covering layer is provided on the outside of the connecting sleeve. The covering layer is used to ensure a sealing effect and prevent liquid from flowing out.
[0059] Furthermore, a height adjustment component 504 is provided inside the housing of the base 103. In this embodiment, the height adjustment component 504 includes an upper adjustment rod 505 disposed on the constant temperature water tank 101, an adjustment knob 506 disposed on the adjustment rod, and an adjustment cavity 507 disposed at the end of the adjustment rod that extends into the spray chamber 102. The upper adjustment rod 505 extends downward from the upper end of the constant temperature water tank 101, then passes through the constant temperature water tank 101 and extends downward into the spray chamber 102. In order to ensure the seal between the constant temperature water tank 101 and the spray chamber 102, an upper passage pipe is provided inside the constant temperature water tank 101. The adjustment cavity 507 extends from... The upper wall of the spray chamber 102 extends downward, and its overall shape is cylindrical, which connects the adjusting chamber 507 to the lower adjusting rod 404, and the upper adjusting rod 505 to the lower adjusting rod 404. The movement of the upper adjusting rod 505 will drive the movement of the lower adjusting rod 404, thereby adjusting the height of the nozzle 405. An external thread 508 is provided on the upper adjusting rod 505, and an internal thread that mates with the external thread 508 is provided on the adjusting knob 506. The adjusting knob 506 is rotatably connected to the upper end of the constant temperature water tank 101. When the operator rotates the adjusting knob 506, it will drive the upper adjusting rod 505 to move up and down.
[0060] Preferably, a pressure sensor 509 is provided on the cavity wall of the spray cavity 102 to monitor the internal pressure of the spray cavity 102.
[0061] The rest of the structure is the same as in Example 1.
[0062] Operation process: The cooling medium enters the spray chamber 102 through the inlet pipe 401 and is then sprayed onto the heat exchange surface 202 via the nozzle 405. After heat exchange, it collects in the return chamber 204a, flows out through the flow channel 204b, and is transported back to the constant temperature water tank 101 through the return pipe 501. To achieve self-circulation of the cooling medium back to the constant temperature water tank 101, the spray cooling device of this invention adopts a fully enclosed structure. Simultaneously, a nanostructure is formed on the copper microgrid 302 using a simple chemical etching method. The interconnecting channels of the copper microgrid 302 can... The cooling medium is transported to the heat exchange surface 202 by capillary action, where a uniform thin liquid film is formed between the micro-mesh and micro-columns. The micropores between the micro-columns, the mesh, and the nano-grass are used as nucleation points to improve the initiation point of nucleation boiling and promote liquid film boiling. The spray chamber 102 is in a fully enclosed state. Once a small amount of liquid phase is converted into steam, the pressure in the spray chamber 102 immediately increases sharply. That is, the kinetic energy of the high-temperature steam generated by evaporation during the spray cooling heat exchange process is used to drive the cooling medium to circulate back to the constant temperature water tank 101 through the return liquid pipe 501.
